The Riverboats at the Gateway Arch—replica 19th-century paddle-wheel riverboats Becky Thatcher and Tom Sawyer—transport riders back in time to when steamboats ruled the mighty Mississippi and fueled the nation’s westward expansion, making St. Louis truly the Gateway to the West. This year is the 55th anniversary of the riverboats on the St. Louis Riverfront.

Editor’s Note: When Gateway Arch National Park reopens following the end of the partial government shutdown, an announcement will follow regarding a separate job fair for Gateway Arch-centric positions.
